Look at this sweet squirrel with his spider web. Today our littlest children learned all about arachnids and even met a real pet tarantula from Ms AJ!! šŸ•·
Ms Angela keeps a close eye on the children while teaching them to safely use the tools for tinkering. How cool to feel so competent and and be given our votes of confidence as the adults to plan, build and watch your own design executed!
Scenes from free time. Fort building and preparing for a soccer match.
Making reed boats. Next week we will float them on the pond! Large reed boats would float the Nile to transport goods in ancient Egypt!
Today we made little bees out of beeswax in science class. Such a fun hands-on activity! Check out our stories today for a sneak peek into a day at The Cedar House!
"My baptized imagination was awakening to truth, beauty, and goodness, and I was going to spend the rest of my life trying to catch up." ~ Cindy Rollins Tucked away under a canopy of trees on Tuesdays you can find Miss DJ reading to our oldest students, the Bears. Tea time + literature has been a favorite this year! It doesn't hurt that Miss DJ always brings an animal for the kids to marvel at while she reads.
Weā€™ve really been digging deep into the exploration of ancient Egypt this semester, and the children have had several opportunities to work using hieroglyphics. They learned about the earliest places where recorded history was placed, including stone and papyrus and how there are gaps because the medium used didnā€™t last. The sand tablets were a fun and messy project!
"Play is the highest form of research." ~ Albert Einstein A few of our Squirrels researching and loving life this week.
Our Morning Time story, The Seven Silly Eaters, helped our Wednesday class see that our family is a gift from God. ā€¢ We read Exodus 20:12 as a reminder that God wants us to honor our father and mother.
We asked if you'd like to see more resources we use and the answer was a resounding yes! This is a book Miss Samantha read during morning time this week that made me tear up. A little boy wants to show love to an elderly woman who is losing her memory. The only problem is, he doesn't know what a memory is so he asks all the different people he interacts with, "What is a memory?" and takes note of what they tell him. Something warm... Something from long ago... Something that makes you cry... Something that makes you laugh... Something as precious as gold... The little boy gathers up all these things to bring to the old woman and we get a glimpse into what love can do. Miss Samantha used this story along with Matthew 22:37-40 to talk about loving those around us.
Farm chores with Chloe
Engaging multiple senses during learning creates such a unique, rich experience for the children. Monet is a perfect artist for our budding artists to study as most of his work was inspired by being outdoors. He even bought a boat to make a floating studio, and would wear 3 overcoats just so he could float the Seine in winter and be inspired by his surroundings.
The Wednesday children learned about bees today, which was such a great addition to when our awesome beekeeper came during expert corner and brought a real hive and local honey. We journaled bees into our science journals, learned about the waggle dance they use to communicate, the visible spectrum of a bee compared to a human, and how some flowers even have ultraviolet arrow shaped markings pointing to the nectar. So amazing!! šŸ šŸÆ
Miss Carrie has such amazing history lessons and awesome project ideas. Today the children made foil replicas of ancient Egyptian symbols and colored them with jewel tones. We had some awesome hand drawn ideas as well.
Wednesday class working on an art project inspired by Monet. Did you know that the entire style of Impressionism came from the name of one of Monetā€™s paintings called ā€œImpression: Sunriseā€ ? We listened to Beethoven, our composer for this semester, while working. Such a lovely way to end our day!
Wednesday tinkering projects for Fall Fest are underway. We had some special help from Papa with the saw. Canā€™t wait to see how these turn out!
Farm Chores with Pinto Checker!!
Flowers for you! šŸ’ Children are blessed with the most giving hearts!
"There is no frigate like a book, to take us lands away" ā€” Emily Dickinson Squirrels enjoying this fall weather at story time šŸ
What a treat to have Mrs Lindsay teach History for us today!! Her talk brought out so much discussion from the kids! They loved learning about the ancient Egyptian culture. The project she found for them to do was spectacular!! Thank you @laneslesstraveled for spending your time off from full time traveling with us!!!
